This is a story whence Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there…

Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty. Do get me some water from that lake there.” The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake.

As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink! ” So he came back and told Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink.”

After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake.

This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said, “See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be … and the mud settled down on its own – and you got clear water… Your mind is also like that.

When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless.”

What did Buddha emphasize here? He said, “It is effortless.” Having ‘peace of mind‘ is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process.

When there is peace inside you, that peace permeates to the outside. It spreads around you and in the environment, such that people around start feeling that peace and grace.

INSPIRING SUCCESS STORIES TO HELP YOU SUCCEED



1. Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone has one of the most inspiring success stories. Before he made it big, he was essentially a starving artist. For many years during and after his college years, he worked odd jobs to pay the bills. And he would do so while simultaneously taking on any acting roles he could find to keep his dreams of becoming a successful actor alive.

It was a struggle that Stallone would endure for many years, seven in fact. Throughout all of those seven challenging years, he would gain a few small roles in a handful of movies. But, none of them were grand enough to get his career launched.

During those seven long years of striving, he came face-to-face with near poverty. Stallone was so desperate for money at one point, he had to sell his wife’s jewelry. He even had to sell his dog because he couldn’t keep him fed. Things got so bad that he even had to endure homelessness for a short period of time.

But, his days of struggle as an aspiring actor would not last forever. After facing seemingly insurmountable odds for over seven years, he would finally get his big break. And this break would come after he managed to get a script he wrote in a three day flurry of inspiration, in front of two big-shot directors in Hollywood.

It was this defining moment that would turn the tide for Sylvester Stallone, and his career would skyrocket after he negotiated the lead role in

The iconic comic book writer, Stan Lee, joined the industry when he was only 17 years old. Back then, he began working as an assistant in the comic book department for a company called Timely Publications. Stan Lee published his first comic book hit in 1961, when he was almost 39 years old.

The man behind the creation of the iconic Marvel Universe was 43 when he started drawing the characters of the X-Men, Spider-Man, etc. Nowadays, the Marvel cinematic universe is getting bigger and bigger day by day. We will never forget the great work of Stan Lee. Stan Lee started his career at the age of 17, but got his first book hit at the age of 39.

In the meantime, if Stan Lee had given up on his dream, then today we would never be able to see some of the iconic Marvel characters like Spider Man. So the motivation is that things take time. You have to work and also have to believe in yourself

Once there was a little boy who had a very bad temper.His father decided to hand him a bag of nails and said that every time the boy lost his temper,he had to hammer a nail into the fence.On the first day,the boy hammered 37 nails into that fence.The boy gradually began to control his temper over the next few weeks.and the number of nails he was hammering into the fence slowly decreased.He discovered it was easier to control his temper than to hammer those nails into the fence.finally,the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.He told his father the news and the father suggested that the boy should now pull out a nail every day he kept his temper under control.The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his Father that all the nails were gone."you have done well,my son,but look at the holes in the fence.The fence will never be the same.when you say things in anger,they leave a scar just like this one.You can put a knife in a man and draw it out .It won't matter how many times you say.I am sorry,the wound is still there.

Moral of the story:- control your anger.and don't say things to people in the heat of the moment,that you may later regret.some things in life, you are unable to take back.
